Register: Navigating Suicide Risk in Psilocybin Facilitation Live CFE

We know that current thoughts of suicide are a red flag for psilocybin facilitation—but what do you actually do if a client discloses these feelings?

In this focused CFE, we’ll clarify current terminology around suicidality, model how to talk about it with clients, show you when and how to screen, and walk through building a clear, collaborative safety plan. We’ll also cover what to do when the client hasn’t disclosed risk, but you pick up on concerning cues during preparation, session, or integration—how to recognize it, respond in the moment, and determine next steps within scope.

You’ll learn to:

• Use accurate, up-to-date terminology
  
• Ask direct, compassionate questions that reduce shame and open dialogue.
  
• Screen at intake, pre-session, during session check-ins, and post-session integration.
  
• Create client-centered safety plans (warning signs, coping strategies, contacts, escalation thresholds).
  
• Respond in-session when risk emerges without disclosure (verbal/nonverbal cues; grounding, pausing, and clinical decision points).
  
• Navigate referral, emergency procedures, and documentation while maintaining rapport and boundaries within scope of practice.
